Thanks, it all came out great, and just like every year, we had way too much!

It's actually my daughter-law. I was wandering with my grandson and when we hustled to catch up, I saw her in the distance & fired this off.

They may need someone much younger for the gop appointed judges...

They will accuse any people with a good tan, or that looks "UnAmerican" such as Asian of being foreigners and insist on charging them more, in hopes of keeping the parks to their lily white selves.

No mention of the raging dementia....I guess we have to wait for the book after he's out of office.

The administration just made it suckier, removing cash penalties airlines had to pay for delays, cancels, etc.
Getting a human on the phone for customer service is the worst consumer experience, "to talk to a human" isn't even an option anymore, not even with a wait - "your call is important to us"

by my calculations it would be
high three x 5 years x 0.017
so
$174,000 x 5 x 0.017 = $14,790
Congress is under FERS Special, they get 1.7% vice 1%. They also pay more into the retirement than normal FERS. FERS Special comes are other caveats as well.

She would have contributed about $37,000 toward her pension, a pension that will pay a little bit less than $15,000/yr if she starts collection at 62
November 22, 2025 at 7:35 PM
But she's not eligible to actually receive it until she's 62. AND it will be less than $15,000/yr

Her pension doesn't "kick in" until she's 62. It will be less than $15,000 per year when it does kick in. She's not doing this for the pension.
